This is a refreshing, new presentation for such familiar tunes as the Nutcracker Suite. This CD is on REPEAT during my holiday season. The percussion "spin" on this classic is unique and creative. Well-performed and masterfully recorded! Each track has its own style and feel. You NEED to include this into your holiday playlist!

I have always been a fan of the Nutcracker Suite, but this is definitely one of my favorite versions! The percussion instruments are a different and fun element to listen to, and it really rounds out my Christmas-listening collection! If you are looking for something new and interesting to listen to this holiday season, you have come to the right place. Well done to the musicians and arranger!
